Ground yourself to the case, then Install CPU into socket taking care to orient the CPU with the markings.
Squirt a dob of silver silcone onto the top of the CPU about the size of a 5cent piece.
gently place the CPU cooler on top of the CPU, the press down and secure with whatever clips or screws that are proviced for the CPU Cooler.
Insert Ram into sockets and secure the end clips.
Install the graphics card on the M/B
Install DVDRW into case(this can be done before the M/B

Also on the CPU, never touch the top casing or the bottom / pins of the CPU, if ONE pin goes, the whole thing is rendered useless!
